	Tiswas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tiswas was an anarchic Saturday morning children's British TV show which ran from January 5 1974 to April 3 1982.
		Tiswas took the children's Saturday morning television mould and smashed it to bits, with its anarchic nature, although it began life as a 'links' strand between many 'filler' programmes, such as cartoons and old movies.
		A definitive line-up of Tiswas presenters regrouped for a resurrection of Tiswas on the ITV Telethon of 1988.

	TISWAS TISWAS TISWAS - TV Cream's Tiswas compendium.
		As well as the likening of current favourite SM:TV to the 'Was at its heights, the short-lived '90s Saturday morning show Wow served up a version of both the gunge element of 'Was (hardly an innovation by the standards of kids' TV at that time) and the wanton disruption of the running order.
		In the spring of 2000 Carlton TV floated the idea of repeating some of the remaining Tiswas shows to beef up their anaemic late-night schedules, presumably in a re-edited form, on a thirtysomething nostalgia tip, as was the style at the time.
		John Gorman was recently approached by another company with a view to putting together a new version of Tiswas, but, quite rightly, turned down the idea on the grounds that it was the chemistry of the original personalities that made it work, and that could not now be repeated.

		Tiswas stood for Today Is Saturday, Wear A Smile and this is what Saturdays were made for.
		Leading presenter, Chris Tarrant, looked as if he had been out on the beer the night before (he claimed in later years that this was in fact often the case).
		By the end of its fifth series, Tiswas was shown across six ITV regions, and the eternally bedenimed and thigh-booted Sally James (from LWT's defunct Saturday Scene) brought a breezy sexiness to Saturday morning television with her insider view of the pop scene and 'Almost Legendary' interviews.

	Frequently Asked Questions at Tiswas Online
		Later on, the "adult Tiswas" idea was resurrected as Saturday Stayback, but this wasn't deemed good enough by the viewers, as dismal ratings meant the show's life was short-lived.
		Having presented the 1981-82 series of Tiswas (the final one!), the last Tiswas fans saw of him was in the final show where he announced he'd be running a Save Tiswas campaign.
		Since Tiswas, Gordon has continued to be a DJ of a rather nomadic stance, having performed stints all over the country at local radio stations, both commercial and BBC-run.

	Tiswas Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		It’s hard to describe “Tiswas”, the anarchic Saturday morning kids show which was broadcast across various ITV franchises in the seventies and early eighties.
		Saturday was Tiswas day for many kids who tired of the formulaic Saturday magazine programme which was being firmly established by “Swap Shop” on the BBC (1978-1982).
		Still, there is a legacy of “Tiswas” fans who remember getting their Saturday morning fix of mayhem and custard pies, who will remember those days with affection.

	BBC - h2g2 - Tiswas - the TV show - A4003066
		The main presenter of this first incarnation of Tiswas was John Asher, who introduced a mish-mash of film clips, competitions, cartoons and a short news feature presented by a reporter from the local news programme ATV Today, a young lad by the name of Chris Tarrant.
		Tiswas Disco - a filmed insert of various presenters and characters in a nightclub, dancing to an anonymous-sounding disco beat, which would stop abruptly to allow the telling of a joke, and then start up again.
		Tiswas, meanwhile, limped on for a further series with a new team of presenters: Sally James was joined by local radio DJ Gordon Astley, former Darts vocalist Den Hegarty and minor-league comedian Fogwell Flax.

	Television Heaven
		A to Z of TV Tiswas (Today Is Saturday Wear A Smile) was the show that revolutionised British Saturday morning children's television in the mid 1970's, by taking the tried and tested format of wholesome family fare and replacing it with two hours of raucous slap-stick, manic humour and risqué jokes.
		Beginning in the Midlands in 1974 it was several years before the show gained full network coverage, with many ITV regions opting out of various segments to replace them with cartoons.
		TISWAS was fun, insanity, and crowd-pleasing programme making which bravely opened up previously uncharted territory in the field of children's entertainment on television.

		The artist formerly known as Matthew Butler (TiswasOnline's Matthew Lewis) rang in, and had a two and a half minute chat with Geoff all about Tiswas - his time on the show, who the Phantom Flan Flinger was, and Geoff chipped in with a story of how his former co-presenter nearly appeared in the Cage.
		Sally will be tap-dancing (which she hasn't done in 20 years, and has just taken a brief two week stint to work off the 'rust').
		Tiswas is the highest rated programme on the UK television nostalgia website TV Cream.

	Tiswas
		Tiswas (reputedly standing for one of 'This Is Saturday, Wear A Smile', 'Today Is Saturday, Watch And Smile' or 'Today Is Saturday, What A Shambles') was an anarchic Saturday morning children's British TV show of the late 1970s and early 1980s which also had a fanatical following among students and the childrens' parents.

		Hosted by Chris Tarrant and Sally James[?], it also featured a young Lenny Henry together with Bob Carolgees[?] and Spit, the Dog.
